Carmina (Venantius Fortunatus) (560 - 600) Venantius Fortunatus |
| Quotation |
quem gravitate animo sensu, moderamine legum / praedicat occiduus sol oriensque virum; / qui
quadripertitis mundi sub partibus amplis / fructificante fide semina laudis habet; / hinc cui barbaries,
illinc Romania plaudit: / diversis linguis laus sonat una viri. |
| Translation |
The sun in its setting and in its rising proclaims him for his dignity, intellect and understanding, and for his governance of justice; throughout the breadth of the world's four quarters. So he lays the seeds of praise which faith brings to fruit; the barbarian applauds him on one side, the Roman on the others; a single acclamation resounds in various tongues to this man. (Trans. Judith George, p. 34) |

Venantius eulogises the Frankish king, Charibert. |
